Widest sole bowling shoes
« on: February 03, 2007, 12:30:35 AM »
Im currently wearing SST5 Sports(the ugly high tops) & i just feel like i dont have enough balance with them. I want something with a wider base to keep me a little more stable at the line.

I was considering etonic stabilites, but i dont believe they have changable heels. The Tour ultras are every bit as thin as the SST5s i think. & the SST7s r just as thin, & have a new rubber spot on the slide toe.

Im so confused & tired of searching bowling shoes over & over, can someone please help me?

I kinda like the comforts, those are 1 pair im considering.

1 other thing, a couple people stated that its hard to match the tour ultra slide to the feel of dexters. I dont slide much, definately less than 1 foot or so. With dexters i used to use the claw, backwards, i now use either the claw heel forward or the ridged heel(with the lines). I rarely use the red or brown slide sole, so i use more slide up front with tons of break for the most part.


Does anyone know if i go with tour ultras if i will be able to stop?

I know this belongs in the shoe forum, but no one ever frequents that forum.  Any & all help wouls be great.

Again, i just want the widest soled, interchangable heel/sole shoes.

I am not sure what width the Tour Ultras come in, I wear a E and they are more than enough. Very comfortable shoe.

I am sure the TU have some kind of sole combination you can find where you wont over slide. I dont slide a ton and use the deer skin and they work just fine for me.

The SST 5 Comforts are a wider sole then most..Being a big guy, they help me considerably at the line.

shipper, im not talking about the width of the shoe fitment wise, im talking about the sole for balance purposes.

Thanks to tloy & Lane_1WrongSider for their input, anyone else?

I concur - the SST VI is wider than others.

I have fairly big feet, and I have the DT Tour Ultras.  They are very wide in the sole, light, made of flexible kangaroo leather, and sturdy to boot.  They get my vote time and again.
